The three-day convention, held Friday through Sunday at Cobo Center, is an outgrowth of the Women’s March, a day when nearly 500,000 people descended on Washington, D.C., and millions more in hundreds of cities across the nation.

The event includes workshops, training and panels that reflect the intersectional feminist movement that has grown out of the Jan. 21 Women's March on Washington.
